Question: doesn't the team variance on tax #'s create additional advantage for teams that already have an advantage?

Welcome to the world of the NBA.

There's no advantage, because this isn't competitive. It's meant to be reflective of where the real life franchises find themselves. 20+ franchises play by one set of rules, and a handful of others have a monetary advantage.

I love this draft but I always seem to run out of time at the end. This is a lot of fun and I would be happy to be an assistant to a GM or a Flip Saunders to your playoff team. I just can't dedicate enough time this year during the weekdays to run the show. Let me know if you think I can help your team to the top. If I have no takers I'll be lurking and commenting as it goes.
